‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Extracorporeal Albumin Dialysis (OPAL) as Novel Therapeutic Bridging Option in Posthepatectomy Liver Failure

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
Extracorporeal albumin dialysis (OPAL) effectively reduces bilirubin and improves other laboratory markers in posthepatectomy liver failure, particularly in secondary forms. It may serve as a bridging therapy to support hepatic recovery in critically ill patients, although prospective studies are needed to confirm its impact on survival.

Hydatid Cyst of the Thyroid Gland With Concurrent Hepatic Involvement: A Rare Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Hydatidosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, most commonly affects the liver and lungs, while thyroid involvement is exceptionally rare and can mimic other cystic thyroid lesions. We report a 40‐year‐old woman with no history of animal exposure who presented with anterior neck swelling, odynophagia, and abdominal discomfort. She had a prior

The Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Pathogenesis of Hepatic Echinococcosis: A Literature Review

Parasite Immunology, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Hepatic echinococcosis (HE), a major zoonotic disease, remains endemic in pastoral regions of Western China, where its incidence is closely linked to geographical, livestock and sanitary conditions. The disease presents a significant clinical challenge due to the complexity of host–parasite interactions and a high recurrence rate. To date, the

Echinococcus Equinus Found in Imported Donkeys (Equus asinus) From Central Asia

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The zoonotic tapeworm Echinococcus equinus (G4) has been reported primarily in equines across Europe, Africa, and West Asia, but its presence in donkeys in Central Asia had not been documented. This knowledge gap is critical given the substantial and growing Kyrgyzstan–China trade of live donkeys.
